Dear Friends,Since my last letter to you, we have had a little welcome rain and what passes for seasonal change in California. Because of Daylight Savings (whose idea was that?), it’s dark before dinner. Did you see that coming? In October, FOC held a meeting at the main San Francisco library to meet and welcome new members. Several long-term members brought examples of their calligraphy and items that included calligraphy, such as Fredi Juni’s accordion art book that incorporated calligraphy and mixed media. Calligraphers who live in the San Francisco Bay Area have a bounty of interesting and educational calligraphic resources to tap into. I don’t know them all, but among those resources that I am familiar with are the collections of letters, publications, and manuscripts in the local university libraries, such as the Bancroft Library at UC Berkeley and the Green Library at Stanford; the Letterform Archive in San Francisco; and the Harrison Collection at the main branch of the San Francisco Library. I’ve been fortunate to view manuscripts at the Bancroft and Green libraries, and at the Harrison Collection in San Francisco. The most recent of those events was when several students and guests from Loren Bondurant’s recent Beginning Italic class at Ft. Mason met at the Harrison Collection to view a representative selection that

Loren and Andrea Grimes, Special Collections Librarian, put together. I took Loren’s class and joined the visit to the Harrison.It takes my breath away to see original pieces from world-class calligraphers like Marie Angel, Hermann Zapf, and our own Alan Blackman. When you visit the Harrison you can get close to the page, take photos, make notes (in pencil!), and almost feel like you are in the room with the calligrapher. In the case of this particular visit, Alan Blackman, who took Loren’s class, so was our fellow student, WAS in the room with us. The Harrison contains several of Alan’s works, includ-ing an impressive huge teal banner with the song Lo How a Rose E’er Blooming lettered in pink. The colors are vibrant, and the lettering is exquisite and perfect. When you go to visit, you should ask to see it—you won’t be sorry.

2017 is about to end, with all of the holiday celebrations and events that accompany

that ending. The FOC Annual Holiday Party was held at Jerry Lehman’s home on Sunday, December 3rd with approximately 40 members and their guests in attendance. A great time was had by all. Alan Blackman was the Master of Ceremonies and regaled all with a number of songs. Hobie MacQuarrie shared a collection of his work and that of his colleagues. Photos on next page.The new year brings us to Trivial Pursuits, the popular day of mini-workshops for FOC members. You received that flyer in your FOC mailing, too, so track it down and fill it out if you want to join us. And last but most definitely not least, next year is Kalligraphia again. Kalligraphia is a un-juried calligraphy exhibition that is held every three years at the San Francisco Main Library by Friends of Calligraphy. Any member of FOC can enter a piece—you do not need to be a professional calligrapher. I encourage you to enter; this event is a chance to show off your calligraphy and have it rub elbows with lots of other calligraphers of all levels of experience.Cheers,

Letters from the Sun

By: Raoul MartinezDuring the weekend of October 14th–15th, visiting calligrapher Louise Grunewald gave the workshop Letters from the Sun. The workshop was held at the San Francisco Center for the Book. Louise led 10 eager students through the process of creating solar prints using UV-sensitive solar plates.Solarplate technology was originated by Dan Welden, a pioneer in safer alternatives to printmaking. It uses specially prepared polymer-coated plates that are sensitive to UV light. When exposed to sunlight, the polymer on the plates hardens; the plates can then be used as printing plates. There are several ways in which a design can be transferred to the plate.On the first day, Louise gave an overview of the process and taught us two simple techniques for creating a solar plate. The first technique, a type of sgraffito, involves covering the solar plate with printing ink, then scratching off the ink with a calligraphic tool such as an automatic pen or a chopstick. After exposing the plates in a light box, we scrubbed them in a water bath to remove any unexposed polymer. After post-exposing our plates in the sun to harden them, we inked them and printed onto dampened Rives BFK, Hahnemuhle Copperplate and Arches Text Wove.

The next technique involved applying ink to the unexposed plate with a calligraphic tool. Some students

dripped gouache or ink on the plate. They then exposed the plate to UV light, scrubbed it in a water bath with a soft brush and hardened it in the sun. This time, the design was indented and, in the case of the design shown below, the plate was printed without ink, as a blind embossing. Like the first plate, this is called a relief plate. Dorothy Yuki’s Embossing & Plate

The last hour of the day, Louise gave us a sneak preview of the intaglio printing method.On the second day of the workshop, Louise showed us how to make an “intaglio” plate. An intaglio plate is created from a transparency containing artwork with gray tones. First, we exposed our plates for 45 seconds in a light box while they were covered with an aquatint filter, an acetate film containing microscopic holes. These holes allow enough light in to partially harden the polymer and enable it to accept gray images. We then placed our grayscale transparencies face down over the same plate and exposed them again. Voilà: an intaglio plate. Then we inked the intaglio plate using a squeegee and wiped off the excess with a tarlatan, a stiff muslin-like fabric. The resulting prints capture the grey tones of the original images:

Special thanks to Dorothy Yuki, who organized the workshop, to San Francisco Center for the Book, who hosted the workshop, to the students who prepared meals for Louise, to Meredith Klein for creating the thank you cards for Louise and Nina of San Francisco Center for the Book, and finally to Louise Grunewald for sharing the art of solar plate printing with us. Louise teaches workshops on solarplate printmaking. Her upcoming workshops are listed on her web site at http://louisegrunewald.com/biocontactworkshops.html

For more information about solar plate etching and to purchase materials, check out Dan Welden’s web sites solarplate.com and danwelden.com or his book Printmaking in the Sun (unfortunately out of print), published by Watson Guptill in 2001. His DVD is still available.

Evelyn Valery Fielden 1921–2017

We are sad to report the loss of longtime member Evelyn Fielden, who first joined FOC in 1977. Evelyn died peacefully in her home on the morning of October 8, with her daughters, Jessica and Monica, at her side. Born in Berlin, Germany, she escaped to England in 1939 and emigrated to the US in 1944. I met Evelyn in 2011, when she decided to donate her calligraphy supplies to young calligraphers. She graciously entertained me at her home in Napa and showed me not only some of her calligraphy, but also cards she’d received over the years from Alan Blackman. She was able to see Alan once again when she attended the holiday party that year. Alan remembers that, when he and Evelyn first met, he asked her about Sütterlin Schrift, one of the famous German alphabets discontinued under the Nazi regime. Although Evelyn hadn’t written that hand since her childhood, she proceeded to write out beautiful examples for him. At the 2011 holiday party, Alan gave a presentation on honorary FOC member Lili Wronker, and recalls Evelyn sitting there listening intently to his account of Lili and her family, whose department store in Berlin had been confiscated. Evelyn’s family had similarly lost their business. I didn’t get back to see Evelyn after the party, but each year since I became membership chair, I exchanged notes with her. Calligraphy was an important part of her life. If friends of Evelyn would like to send a message to her family, you may write to: Monica Padrnos 122 Pomona Avenue El Cerrito, CA 94530

Get Ready for Kalligraphia XV!Elsewhere in this mailing is the Kalligraphia XV Call for Entries. For longtime members, you know what this means: it’s the starting point to our coming summer of calligraphy at the San Francisco Public Library. For those of you newer to FOC, every three years we hold an un-juried exhibition of works by our members. Members are entitled to submit one work. It could be a broadside, a book, carved stone, a three dimensional form—but a work of original calligraphy. See the Call for Entries for the guidelines. The deadline to enter is April 24, 2018, so you have time to create a work or perhaps to mat or frame a recent piece you want to show. This year we are trying something new. In addition to the traditional mail-in form, we are offering the option to complete the entry form electronically, email it, and pay the entry fee with a credit card or PayPal.The vitality of Kalligraphia has always come from the variety of calligraphic work—newer calligraphers’ work shares the space with that of professional calligraphers and artists, and it all just works. . Our committee, Fredi Juni, Mary Ann Wight, Georgianna Greenwood, Evelyn Eldridge, Dean Robino and I, are hard at work planning the exhibition. Members who have entered a piece will bring or mail it to the Library in late May (on the Call for Entries, “intake” is a volunteer job—these people check in the artwork). In June, we’ll install the exhibit, which opens Saturday, June 16, with a reception—a great kick-off to our summer of calligraphy.
